ENG: Morocco has been into my bucket list for a long time, you can imagine how happy I was when I found out I had the opportunity to travel there. Chosen destinations Casablanca and El Jadida. But first things firts!Casablanca is easily reachable from 7 airports in Italy, we left from Orio al Serio (Bergamo), flying with Air Arabiathat treated us in a special way, both at the airport, making us use the Lounge and also the Fast track, both onboard… a contnuous cuddle.
The duration of the flight is more or less three hours, it passed very quickly, with a movie on Netflix and some snacks 🙂

ENG:The Hassan II Mosque is, without any doubt, the most important attraction of the city, I can ensure you that is worth the entire trip. It’s the biggest mosque of Morocco and also the third of all the world, the whole building and the square can welcome 105.000 people.
It’s built right across the Ocean and here you can breathe a magic atmosphere which is quite unique. The outside is sensational and impressive, with the big doors that are actually weighing almost 30 tons, the mosaic in vibrant colors, the arches and the perfect geometries.The inside it’s not to be outdone , I totally recommend to join a tour or follow a professional tourist guide, so that you can have access to the different rooms… what you will see wil just blow your mind.

ENG: Even if the Royal Palace of Casablanca is closed to visitors, the house of the king of Morocco Mohammed VI, of her wife, the Lalla Salma princess and of her two brothers, deserves a visit also from the outside. Built according to the moroccan architecture image of beauty and elegance this place is a real masterpiece of islamic architecture.
The compound is located in the Ville Nouvelle, near the harbour, surrounded by beautiful gardens with orange groves and watergames… something beautiful for your eyes.

ENG: We are now moving into the Habous district. Right in the heart of the city here you can breathe an atmosphere full of contradictions, traditions, innovations.Master craftsmen and skilled tailors are selling their own creations, traditional artifacts and clothes; then the several coffee shops, the libraries with ancient manuscripts, first editions dating back to the beginning of the last century… telling the past from the future is really difficult in Habous. There are all the typical urban elements of the muslim social life, walking through the beautiful streets is a pleasant and interesting experience.
a place you can not miss is the oldest pastry house of the city, “Bennis”. The real wealth here is history, and the variety of pastries: almond, sesame and coconut (10 euros per kilos).
